Designer Creates A Typeface To Simulate His Experience With Dyslexia

Reading with dyslexia can be a frustrating experience , but explaining that experience can also be incredibly frustrating . So graphic designerDan Brittoncreated a typefacedesigned to copy his emotional experience as a someone with dyslexia reading text .

Over atDezeen , Britton , who was diagnose with dyslexia while at university , talks a bit more about his script and the idea behind it . He is not trying to replicate what people who know dyslexia in reality see , but rather trying to show other the great unwashed what the experience is like :

“ You ca n’t skim over through , you have to pick out and read each individual letter , then piece together the words , then sentences and paragraphs , ” Britton said . “ The whole process of indication is 10 times slower , like to that of a dyslexic reader , to renovate the embarrassment of read with casual eccentric . ”

To create that experience , Britton get with the font Helvetica and took away pieces of them , so that the letters are no longer immediately recognizable .

So what ’s reading it like ? you may steer overDezeenandBritton ’s siteto see text printed in the font . Personally , I was able-bodied to register the school text , but I want to stop reading it pretty chop-chop . It ’s a headache — as it should be .
